Reach out, don't be afraid. I've had that same feeling before: You want to open the feeder lines of communication but you don't know exactly what to say; let me help you. Share an idea with me, shoot me a suggestion, tell me never to wear socks with sandals, or just tell me how improve; I welcome it all.

Break the routine looks to advise and guide city dwellers and suburbanites alike to think smart by different about their time and money.

Through these shared articles, influences, and improved life techniques I hope you create your own plan and act on them immediately. I'm here to help and inspire you.

Financial Advice

It's a jungle out there for the consumer. In every industry, whether you're hailing a car and have to decide between Uber, Lyft, Hailo, etc. or have to choose between an online brokerage, how do you know what is the best option for you? To complicate matters even further, while the established platforms claw for your attention to switch over (i.e. promotions on Lyft) there is an unrelenting pressure from the new kids on the block to check out their "colorful feathers" and new technological breakthroughs (i.e. Juno offering free rides in Manhattan).

The Financial Technology space is no different. There are legacy platforms like ETrade for brokerage, Venmo for peer to peer payments and Coinbase for Bitcoin exchanges. For every one of these legacy platforms there are a host of competing platforms and even more newcomers to the game, desperately vying for market share and ultimately your attention. See a snippet of this ecosystem below.

With new platforms popping up every day, I want to share a few new names that have surfaced recently. While it would be nearly impossible to try out all platforms given my time constraints (and monetary constraints), I can try to boil them down to their basic DNA.

It's a vast jungle out there of options. It's often times very difficult to choose a new platform and a lot of it is complicated and in disguise to shroud the underlying assets in which you are truly investing. In short, do your research and stay diversified!
